During the first chapter i was totally on board and thought i might give it a 5 out of 5. I enjoyed the thought of these three small time criminal friends finally doing some good in their life by helping out strangers. Sadly, the book went a different route.
Personally i would've enjoyed a deeper character study of the friends alot more in comparison to the bundle of intertwined and connected short stories we got here. It was saddening for me, if i can be so honest, that the focus was given to other matters.
Still, i can appreciate it for the story telling and the story connection, but the strongest part was the first chapter for me.
